Filters for Viewing

While looking at the reflect light off the Moon can not physically harm the observer, the intensity can be very bright. By adding this filter into the optical path, the observer can relax and enjoy the many fascinating features found on our Moon.

These specialized astrophotography filters pass select wavelengths and essentially block all other wavelengths of light, including light pollution, so you can capture images in less than ideal conditions.

The DayStar Quark Prominence Filter works well on f/4-f/9 refractors by simply inserting the diagonal and eyepiece. Included is a custom Daystar 4.2X telecentric barlow designed for H-Alpha wavelengths and superior field flatness.

The Baader Planetarium 1.25" Polarization filter can be threaded directly into an eyepiece, thereby making the switch from 1.25" eyepieces easy without removing the filter and maintaining a close distance between the eyepiece and filter.
